Lisa Edelstein has revealed that she can relate to her House character Cuddy.

Speaking to What's On TV, Edelstein explained that she understands why Cuddy is struggling to choose between Lucas (Michael Weston) and House (Hugh Laurie).

"To me, Lucas is one of those relationships you have when you just wish you could have a normal relationship," she said.

"She has a child now, so she really needs somebody who's actually going to show up for her and be consistent and show up for her child and be consistent and be good in bed and easy to be around and make her laugh once in a while. All those things on paper sound really great, which I think Lucas has. But I don't think she has the deep connection that she has with House."

She continued: "I've done this. I've had relationships with guys that I thought I should, because on paper they're what you're supposed to be with... But who you are really, truly attracted to is not something you can decide."

Edelstein added that she thinks Cuddy and House belong together, saying: "I think, against her will, who she would like to be with is House. But on paper who she would like to be with is Lucas."
